A new nanospectroscopy technique developed by physicists at RIKEN has enabled them to obtain a spectrum from a single molecule. Such a potential to probe individual molecules will prove indispensable for customizing the properties of organic materials used in such devices as solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

A unique collaborative experience at doctoral level
